Also known as: CDBG

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal formula grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that provides annual funding to entitlement cities such as Corpus Christi to support decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunity, principally for low- and moderate-income residents. In Corpus Christi, the program is administered by the City's Community Development division within the Planning and Economic Development Department, which uses CDBG funds for activities including affordable housing, minor home repair, public facility improvements, public services, and elimination of slum and blight. Allocation of the funds involves an annual action plan, public hearings, and City Council approval, and subrecipient agencies receive awards through contracts with the City.
